SVU script supervisor Stephanie Marquardt shared the above photo of Harigtay discussing a scene with her costar Danny Pino as a director, not as an actor.
“It’s a long time coming; I’ve wanted to do it for a while. There are a lot of things that I’ve learned and collected. I know how to get performances, I know what buttons to push in people and I’ve been doing it for a long time…Since I’ve been on SVU, I get more joy, sometimes, from helping somebody else with their performance than my own,” Hargitay told E! News about directing. “That’s when I got the idea…It’s just this idea of helping to tell the story or even help people get in touch, like how people help me to get to my soul. I’m up for the challenge…It feels like a natural progression.”
